I humbly apologize; I misunderstood and thought that the issue was about
large clicks, as when some device drivers are restarted. Or when a full-
scale waveform is interrupted in midcycle.

From here, it seems that could be a loud click, depending on when and
how the silence is introduced. Would it be possible to ramp the
output down to zero before disconnecting? I think you already said
yes to this when Abramo asked in another manner; I'm just checking.
... because if we could avoid producing those "tiny little clicks",
then it would be so perfect.
